warning rant below:

auugh!!!! my middle school doesn't have any kind of fence/wall surrounding it to isolate the academic environment from the helter skelter savage capitalism that surrounds it.

bad boys/ jr. gangster/ktv boys/ drop outs constantly linger around the school trying to get their friends (my students) to join them on their undereducated endeavours.

to make matters worse, the jr. gangsters know where to hang out . my school only has one giant outhouse outback and all the kids gotta go there sooner or later. the bad boys just hang around all time, creating a terrible learning environment. they play basketball on the school's hoops while the students can watch them from the classroom windows.

the badboys used to listen to the teachers and leave when confronted. not any longer. the now come in packs and move about 50 meters on down the line when asked to leave or mosey over to the deserted, unsecured sports stadium right next door.

my kids have enough strikes against them (being from a rural area, born to parents w/out many resources, etc) but these drop out losers coming back and dragging more kids down the drain w/ them is more than i care to stand.

maybe you can get them jobs as "bao an" somewhere...

no real answer, but your concern for the kids really shows and that's good to see.

No, you are not funny. Little wonder this attitude has left you without a meal card.
